["[/QUOTE] =alberthofmann;56511353]Who wrote that? Did I miss smt, the end feels like there is more text to come. The part about the flops and the wrong suit is kinda lol
Here the text from pastebin
"Dear ladies and gentlemen,
We are a small group of German poker players, most of us long term pokerstars costumers. In the last months a lot of us noticed a certain player, who is relatively new to the scene, sky rocketing through the toughest of stakes. Not only on pokerstars but on other sites as well. His name is Fedor Kruse and his nickname on stars is “GlitchSystem”. A lot of us were suspicious because something like this just doesn't happen a lot and we started our own investigations.
Here are some of our own founds:
1. He uses a variety of different bet-sizes on any street and its always exact. Those are 25%, 33%, 50%, 66%, 75%, 100%, 150%. Usually those sizings are on point, except for a few instances where his plays are extremely off (i.e. betting 75% small blind vs middle positon in a 3bet pot on Q33 rainbow)
2. There is one extremely weird looking hand, in which we think he messed up the correct suit. (One of us looked this up in a “all flops”-list he found on twoplustwo.com in which “accidentally” this perticular suit is missing there as well for this board)

3. He almost exclusively plays 100bb deep. He plays versus the best and toughest players such as Stefan11222, BigBlindBets and many more but almost never fewer than 100 big blinds deep. And if he plays shortstack he makes super bad mistakes. This is extremely suspicious because he used to be a tournament regular, which should be very comfortable playing at shorter stack depth.
4. He consistently makes very non-intuitive plays, which to very little surprise are all “solver-approved”
5. Comparing his upcoming to even the very very best players such as “LLinusLLove” or other sickos of the game, he did in the fastest time seen so far. Only a year ago he was still playing 100NL
6. Eventhough we dont have a big sample on his hands, the ones we have, all his frequencies look very good, which adds up to the suspicion.
7. His former roommates have detailed information, which apparently already has been reported to Pokerstars on how he uses a second set of mouse and keyboard to access his second PC on which he has all the solves."[/QUOTE]
I am gonna respond to those germans who make seven points about Fedor Kruse being guilty. Their analysis is very poor and has no substance besides a very interesting point #2. These are quite serious allegations, so at least post your names when making such claims because for all we know this could easily be a personal vendetta or something of that sort.
The fact that he uses variety of different bet-sizes does not prove anything. Many players love to use vacuum plays/alternate between default bet sizes. It is also easier to solve poker with less bet-sizes. Very weak analysis without any examples or statistics.
2. This could be really suspect if solver chooses that particular combo where the mistake is. Hope someone can post more info about this. With the sims and proper analysis.
3. So what that he likes to play 100bb? Many players do that including Stefan and BigBlindBets. And so what that he plays bad at short stack? This in fact would be an argument in his defense as short stack is easier to solve than 100bb. By the way all tournament players make tons of atrocious mistakes. Just ask the guys who played against MTT crew in 500/1k +.
4. Examples? Un-intuitive plays does not constitute any proof of RTA maybe it is un-intuitive to you guys, because you have not understood them? Isildur used many over-bets against his opponents as they were un-intuitive to play against for a long time. One could argue that good human strategy is to put your opponents into a game-tree which is the most un-intuitive to them.
5. Many players had fast come-ups. Linus is a good example. That Does not automatically imply cheating. It is possible that you don’t know where Fedor has played before pokerstars/WPN. It also seems that he has very wealthy backers who have helped him move up quickly. Many players don’t have those and have to spend more time in The mid-stakes. It is almost always the case that minority of people in a specific field reach an extra-ordinary achievement while the rest are mediocrity. It is called the Pareto principle and apply to many hierarchical structures

6. You need to have ‘frequencies that look good’ to play in tough games. And as you have mentioned the sample size you have is meaningless and provide no value to this discussion.
7. So far no evidence have been posted here in the thread besides speculations and allegations based on a hearsay.
We can speculate because it is an NVG thread, but I don’t see enough evidence to claim that he’s guilty yet. Let’s wait for the roommates To post evidence or GG/PS teams to complete their investigations. Until that happens it will be hard to know the truth.
